I had a tough time with this one immpy!

After basics:
Code:
+---------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 236  26   5   | 4   367  2367 | 8   9     1     |
| 7    9    248 | 5   1    28   | 3   24    6     |
| 2346 2468 1   | 9   368  2368 | 25  2457  247   |
+---------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 8    5    9   | 2   367  367  | 46  1     34    |
| 46   7    34  | 8   5    1    | 9   236   23    |
| 126  126  23  | 36  9    4    | 7   8     5     |
+---------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 9    248  248 | 367 3468 5    | 1   23467 23478 |
| 5    148  7   | 136 2    368  | 46  346   9     |
| 124  3    6   | 17  48   9    | 25  2457  2478  |
+---------------+---------------+-----------------+

Then I couldn't find a one-stepper so I ended up settling for 3 steps. The 1st assumed that r9c4 = 1 and hit a contradiction, the 2nd assumed that r2c3 <> 8 and hit a contradiction, and the 3rd assumed that r5c3 = 3 and also hit a contradiction.

Maybe this one was more of a VH++.

So that's it? No one else is going to post a solution for this one? If that's the case, then I guess this really was a VH++! (Ugh!)

I used a chain of 8s anchored at r2c3 & r8c2 which removes 8s from r3c2 & r7c3. The later gives an 8 at r2c3 by virtue of column 3.

That led to a contradiction of 4s in box 7. That filled out most of the puzzle.

Used an xy-wing to complete.
